Chalk Drawing
 

 

Supplies:
Brown paper bag (ironed flat)
White chalk
 

On Friday: Help your child make a list of his favorite toys, collections, or areas of interest. Next, have him choose one topic from the list to use as the subject of the chalk drawing. (Above is a framed chalk drawing of a pair of tennis shoes I saw hanging on a wall in a podiatrist's office).


Directions: Arrange the object(s) to be sketched. Cut open a heavy brown paper bag and lay it flat. You may want to iron out the wrinkles. Have your child use white chalk to draw what he sees, interpreting the objects in his own way.

 

To prevent the finished drawing from smudging, first test an obscure area by giving it a quick pass with aerosol hairspray.   Dry and frame.
 

  
 
Reference photo at the top of the page: One day in the spring, this baby bird sat just outside our office window. Both his parents spent the afternoon trying to teach this reluctant bird to fly. They took turns flying low, circling, chirping, and demonstrating technique. All the while, our little feathered friend held on tightly to the branch. As the sun began to set, he finally spread his wings, and the three headed skyward. Early childhood education: fly low, circle close, hover, encourage, instruct, be patient, work to maintain close family ties.
